Craig Ferguson entered the world of late night comedy following a diverse and eclectic career that encompasses film, television and the stage. Ferguson can currently be seen on the nationally syndicated game show “Celebrity Name Game,” for which he was recently awarded the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host, for the second year in a row. The third season is set to premier on September 19th. Ferguson was previously the host of CBS’s “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” for 10 years, which set all-time viewer records and earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination.

In September 2015, Ferguson launched his fourth original stand-up comedy special on EPIX entitled, “Craig Ferguson: Just Being Honest,” which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. The special was filmed at New York City’s Town Hall and focuses on topics spanning from “the deeply meaningless to the profoundly meaningful.” In May 2016, Craig completed The New Deal Tour, a 60-show comedy stand-up tour across North America. Ferguson was last seen in his original History Channel show, “Join or Die.”

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Ferguson got his start in the entertainment industry as a drummer for some of the worst punk bands in the U.K. After several stints on the English comedy circuit, Ferguson brought his act to America in 1995 to star with Betty White and Marie Osmond in the ABC comedy, “Maybe This Time.” From 1996-2003, Ferguson starred on “The Drew Carey Show,” playing Carey's boss, ‘Nigel Wick.’

Ferguson has also become a huge success on the North American comedy circuit. He has performed all over the country and sold out Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall. Ferguson’s first three stand-up comedy specials include, “A Wee Bit O’ Revolution,” “Does This Need To Be Said,” and “I’m Here to Help,” for which he received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album.

His film credits include, “How to Train Your Dragon,” “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” “Winnie The Pooh,” “Brave,” “Niagra Motel,” “Lenny the Wonder Dog,” “Prendimi l’anima,” “Life Without Dick,” “Chain of Fools” and “Born Romantic.” He has also written the feature films “The Big Tease” and “Saving Grace.”

Ferguson has released two New York Times bestselling books, Between The Bridge and The River and American On Purpose, a book about why and how he became an American.
